TOPPY MAGUIRE VB. GEN. GRANT.
A Rich Scene on a Long Branch Boat—
7he Hon. Hosea B. Perlcins’ Bet—A
Jerseyman's Decision—How Mr. Per
kins Lost s3—Doe* Toppy Maguire Re j
tcmble Gen. Grant f
Six weeks ago, last Friday, General
Grant went down to Long Branch from
this city on the Jesse Hoyt. Ho went
up into the npper cabin, and passed out
to the forward deck. There he dropped
into an easy chair.
Soon after the Hon. Hosea B. Perkins
took a scat fifteen feet from Gon. Grant.
Ho wore black clothes and a high hat,
and talked with everybody within speak
ing distance. Gen. Grant meanwhile
had pulled the newspaper from bis pocket
and was reading it very intently.
After the boat started, the Hon. Top
py Maguire, proprietor of the Caynga
House on Harlem Lane, approached Mr.
Perkins.
“ How do you do, Mr. Perkins?” said
Toppy Maguire.
“ Quite well, thank you,” responded
Mr. Perkins, " how is Mrs. Maguire
and tho children ?”
“ First rate,” answered Toppy.—
" You’re looking well, Mr. Perkins.”
“ Do you think so ?” said Mr. Per
kins. “ There’s a man over there looks
better than I do,” pointing to Gen.
Grant.
“ Who is it ?” asked Toppy.
“ Why don’t you know who that is ?”
said Mr. Perkins, in muoh astonishment.
“ Well, he looks liko a horse fancier,”
replied Mark ; “ but I never saw him
before. Who is it ?”
“ That is the President of the United
States,” said Mr. Perkins, impressively.
No ! You don’t tell me so 1” ex
claimed Toppy, gasping for breath.
“ Yes, I do,” said Mr. Perkins ; “and
do you know, Mark, that there’s a great
resemblance between you and the Presi
dent ? though I think;” looking nervous
ly from one to the other, “that the Presi
dent’s a better looking man than you
are.”
“ Well, now, come,” said Toppy; that’s
a little rough, Mr. Perkins. I’ll have
to bet a little bottle of wine that I’m a
better looking man than Grant. If I
ain’t I'll shut up the Cayuga and
travel.”
“ Well, I’ll waggor a small bottle,”
said Mr. Perkins. ‘‘But whom shall we
leave it to ?”
“ Oh, leave it the first Jerseyman
that comes along,” responded Toppy.
At that instant a Jerseyman approach
ed. He wore a small hat, a blue cotton
necktie, no vest, a pair of barn-door
pantaloons of a red sadstone color, and
army shoes. Mr. Perkins aocosted him
thus:
“ Would you oblige me, sir, by set
ling a little wager between this gen
tleman and myself pointing his thumb
at Toppy Maguire.
“ Well,” replied the Jerseyman, com
ing to a dead standstill. “ Jest as lieve's
not. What’s the bet ?”
" Well, we want you to decide which
is the best-looking of these two. This
one,” pointing to Toppy, “ or that one
over thoro reading the paper,” pointing
to Grant.
The Jerseyman stuck his hands in his
breeches pocket, walked over to the
President, straddled bis legs, and took a
good look at him. Then he returned
and gazed at Toppy Maguire in tho
same manner.
“ Well, what do you think ?’’ asked
Mr. Perkins.
"They look enough alike to be broth
ers,” responded the Jerseyman. “ But
I think this here man,” looking at Top
py, “ has got a good deal more intellect
about him than the other fellow. He’s
about as stupid a looking specimus as I
ever see.”
“ That’ll do,” said Mr Perkins. —
“ Mark, let’s go down stairs.”
And Mr. Perkins hauled out three
dollars and bursted a bottle of wine.—

TUB STATE KOAD MUDDLE.
Not long since Capt. Blodgett, ex-
Superintendent of the Western & At
lantic Railroad, essayed to make a eot /p
d'etat to pnt Major McCalla out of the
way, and get himself in exclusive posses
sion of the State Road records, where
the vigilant eye of the General Book
keeper could not see what he did. In
this he failed, as the public kuow.
The stake, however, was mighty, and
the case desperate. He resorted to the
device of trying to turn the records
over to the Attorney General, instruct
ing him to employ clerks, Ac., to bring
up the balances (a thing Blodgett himself
could have done months ago, if he had
tried), and do other things.
The joxnt in this was that the Attor
ney General, whatever may have been
his wishes in bringing the offenders to
punishment, recognized Blodgett as hav
ing authority to remove Maj. McCalla ;
recognised himself Attorney Gen
eral) as having authority received from
Blodgett to make appointments and re
movals; and the friends of Maj. McCalla
feared there would be another attempt
to remove him, in which CoL Farrow
would try his hand. This fear or ex
pectation, it seems, was realised ; for
yesterday Colonel Farrow served Maj.
Calla with a formal notice of dismissal
Maj. McCalla was appointed to the
position, or assigned to the duty thereof,
by the Governor, and he and his friends
held that none but the Governor could
remove him.
It seems to us that the committee ap
pointed to take charge of the records,
should have recognised the services, the
ability, integrity and knowledge of Maj.
M., and required his retention in his
place. He knows where to point out
the track of the villiany that has taken
place, and his services cannot be dis
pensed with, and thus ought to be re
tained without allowing any recognition
of the authority of Blodgett to remove
him.
But aside from all this, we ask :
Why should Oapt. Blodgett and Col.
Farrow have used so much strategy in
attempting to take from the control of
Maj McCalla the State Road books ?
If Capt. B. and Col. F. were so wil
ling to have the alleged State Road
frands investigated, why should they not
have unhesitatingly went to the aid and
assistance of Maj. McCalla and Maj.
Hargrove, who started this good work
in good faith to the people of Georgia ?
Have not the efforts of Maj. McCalla
and of Maj. Hargrove already developed
a fact beyond dispute ; that fraud, theft
and forgery had been carried into suc
cessful operation by State Road officials
to the amount of thousands of dollars ?
Now, if Capt. B. and Col. F. are
friends to these exposures, why do they
not come up and support McCalla and
H. ? Why should they desire to rid
themselves and the community of Mc-
Calla’s services—the man above all
others calculated to expose these frauds?
Why, oh why ? tell us why ?
PICS THE GREAT.
HIS - LETTER DECLINING THE GOLDEN
THRONE.
The Osservatore Romano contains
the text of the letter addressed by His
Holiness to the Marquis Cavaletti, Presi
dent of the committee which offered him
a golden throne. It is as follows :
Very Dear Marquis, Senator and Son
in Jesus Christ : The numerous proofs of
filial affection which reach me from all
points of tho Catholic world produce in
me the liveliest emotion. They oblige me
to be sincerely grateful, which I try to
be, in praying for so many children of
the Church. Every week I offer the
sacrifice of infinite value, that of the first
mass, and complying with the general
desire I will, it it please God, offer it
again, begging God to deliver our Italy
from all the evils which oppress her
every day more.
Last of all, beloved son of Jesus
Christ, who are always so devoted to the
Holy See, I have been surprised at the
news you have given me—namely, that
the good Catholics think of offering me
two new and altogether unexpected testi
monials of filial love, the gift of a Pon
tificial throne of gold, and the addition
of the title of Great to the name of
Pius IX. With my heart on my lips and
with the sincerity of a father who loves
affectionately his children in Jesus Christ,
I will reply to one and other of those
offers. In regard to the precious gift
of a golden throne, it has all at once oc
curred to my mind that I should em
ploy the sum which may be collected in
releasing young ecclesiastics whom a
sinister law compels to do military ser
vice. The clergy is the golden seat that
sustains the Church. So it is against
the clergy that the efforts of the present
rulers are directed. They employ spolia
tion and persecution ; they study every
where how to render ecclesiastical voca
tions very difficult, in order thus to re
duce more and more the succession in
the ecclesiastical hierarchy, which, de
cimated daily by death and tribulations,
leaves contiuual voids which cannot be
filled, to the great detriment of the
Church of Jesus Christ.
It seems that the present rulers have
given themselves the mission of destroy
ing everything, and particularly what
ever concerns religion and the Church.
While they load with eulogium and
grants of money intended to be applied
to the encouragement of ecclesiastics who
disobey their bishops and apostatize from
the faith, they pursue consisfently the
infernal system of attacking tho good
people, only because these are opposed
to the doctrines of their persecutors and
their anti-Christian dispositions.
But let us leave these blind rulers to
follow the path of perdition. Deaf to the
first warnings of conscience, skeptics, and
forced to ridicule tho good doctrines
which are preached under their eyes,
they run in the way that leads them to
the deep abyss. And now in regard to
the word “ Great” to our name. I
have presented to my mind a saying
of the divine Redeemer.
lie traversed the various countries of
Judea after He had put on human na
ture. A person penetrated with admira
tion of His divine virtues addressed him
as “ Good Master.” “ Why dost thou
call me good ? God alone is good,” im
mediately replied Jesus. If, then, Jesus
Christ, regarding Himself as a man, de
clared that God alone is good, should not
His unworthy Vicar say in his turn that
God alone is great ? Great by reason
of the strength Ho gives Ilis \ icar ;
great by reason of the support He
gives His Church ; great by reason of the
infinite patience He exeroises toward
His enemies ; great by reason of the re
wards He keeps in store for all those
who have abandoned the ways of sin to
consecrate themselves to the excercise of
penitence ; great by reason of the rigors
of justice He will use for the punish
ment of unbelievers and of all the obsti
nate enemies of the Church.
That being granted, I must confess
all I have just said—namely, wo shall
consecrate tho money collected for the
throne to the ransom of young ecclesias
tics ; and, in the next place, my name
shall continue to be as it has always
been. I desire that all repeat, for the
glory of God, Magnus Dominus et lau
dabilts nimis— the Lord is great and
beyond ali praise. Such is the wish ex
pressed by the Father to his dear child
ren, and in expressing this wish he re
iterates assurances of love and gratitude
toward them. It is true that the title
in question —Great—has been given to
three truly great Pontiffs, but that took
place only after their death, because then
the judgment of men is clearer and
calmer. However, may those Pontiffs
remain great on the lips and in the hearts
of all, and I, with overflowing heart,
give you, your family and all good Catho
lics, the apostolic benediction.
Pius, P. P. IX.
At the Vatican, August 8, 1871.
BOSTON.
The l.ttie Hallway Horror-Teetimenjr of
(hr Blamed Kocineer.
Boston, August 31. —The inquest on
the Eastern Railroad disaster continued
to-day. Ashbell Brown, engineer of the
Pullman train, was sworn : To the best
of my knowledge it was twenty-five
minutes" past eight o'clock when the col
lision occurred. I started at five min
utes past eight from Boston. After I
was ready to start the conductor gave
motion to go. Luut, the depot master,
then came along side the engine in a
hurry and says to me, “ Look out for the
Saugus branch train.” I said, w All
right.”
I then started and the first stop I
made was at Prison Point. Started
and then stopped at Boston and Maine
Crossing. Started from there and run
to Mystic River bridge, the first place
I saw a light as a signal of danger. The
first light I saw was moving from a
train going in the opposite direction. I
whistled for the breaks to be applied
and we came,nearly to a stop. Knowing
that I had my train under full control I
whistled off brakes, ran a little ways
and saw a second light swinging in the
middle of the track. Soon after I saw
the red light on the pole at Saugus
Branch was hauled down and the train
that was ahead of me crossed the Sau
gus Branch. After the switches were
set the light was ruu up and as ours was
up and another going up this gave me
the right of road.
I had no reason to suppose there was
another train within six miles of me.
Ran along, and the first signal of danger
1 saw was after leaving the Overhead
bridge. I then discovered two lights
looking me in the face. (The witness
was affected to tears, and could hardly
go on.) I immediately reversed my en
gine and whistled for the breaks. Hav
ing done all in my power to stop my
train, I made preparations to leave my
engine, thinking she would run into the
rear end of that train.
When I got within four or five rods, I
jumped off, was thrown on my face and
scratched a little. I got up as quickly
as I could. My first thought was whether
my fireman got off or not. I went up to
my engine ; she was blowing off steam so
I oould not see my cab. Soon as the en
gine got rid of its steam, I looked into
the cab and called the fireman by name.
I got no reply. Went round to the other
side of the train, near where I jumped
off, to see if I could not find him.—
Think when coming back I met him.
Asked if he was hurt ? He said no.
Then went to the train to give all the
assistance I could. I assisted several
persons out of the wrecked care. Staid
out about two and a half hours. Heard
that the train was going to Boston and
having done all that I could went home.
Knew nothing of any train after leaving
Everett that did not have twenty min
utes start of me. Did not expect *the
train ahead. Was running not over 20
miles an hour when I passed the Over
head bridge. The rate of speed when I
jumped was 10 miles per hour. The
color of the lights was white. Saw no
red lights. Saw no lantern swung. Be
ing so near onto that train and knowing
that train was there my attention was
turned to something else, that is, to stop
my train as soon as I could.
CROSS-EXAMINATION.
I knew that the Beverly train was half
an hour behind time ; had no difficulty
in seeing a light that night. Did not
try to make up for lost time. Always
run carefully. Was positive it was
the Saugus Branch train that I was to
look out for. Can positively swear that
there was no train in sight on a straight
track that night. Knowing that the
Beverly train had twenty minutes start
of us, and thinking that they were leav
img Revere ahead, when I was starting,
I had no anxiety about it. It was my
duty to look out for a signal at Revere.
Do not expect a light there without there
is danger. There was no light though.
VVm. E. Simmonds was sworn, and
his testimony was corroborative of the
engineer’s evidence.
Adjourned.
THE BOSTON HOLOCAUST.
In the late railroad horror near Bos
ton it is not generally understood that
there were five trains delayed at Sau
gus Brauch junction when the accident
occurred. The outward Saugus train
was waiting for the inward Saugus
train and was detaining the Beverly train.
The late was followed by another Sau
gus, and which delayed the Pullman
train. After the Saugus train had pass
ed the engineer of the Pullman train
supposed the track clear, and hence the
disaster.
SCENES ON RAILWAY CARS.
Mr. Howells, in his genial half-story
and half-essay, “Their Wedding Jour
ney,”in the September Atlantic, sketches
as follows the every day scenes on the
cars, which everybody will recognize :
“ Yes, it is a very amusing world, if
yon do not refuse to be amused; and our
friends were very willing to be enter
tained. They delighted in the very
thick-fingered old ladies who bought
sweet apples of the boys who come
aboard with baskets, and who were so
long in finding the right change that our
travelers, leaping in thought with the
boys trom the moving train, felt that
they did so at the peril of their lives.
Then they were interested in people who
went out and found their friends wait
ing for them, or else did not find them
and wandered disconsolately up and
down before the country stations, carpet
bag in hand ; in women who came
aboard, and were awkwardly shaken
hands with or sheepishly kissed by
those who hastily got their seats for
them and placed their bags or their
babies in their laps, and turned for a
nod at the door ; in young ladies who
were seen to places by young men (the
latter seemed not to care if the train did
go off with them), and then threw up
their windows and talked with girl
friends on the platform without till the
train began to move, and at last turned
with gleaming eyes and moist red lips,
and panted hard in the excitement of
thinking about it, and could not calm
themselves to the dull level of the
travel around them ; in the conductor,
coldly and inaccessibly vigilant as he
went his rounds, reaching blindly for the
tickets with one hand, while he bent his
head from time to time and listened
with a faint, sarcastic smile to the ques
tion of passengers who supposed they
wore going to get some information out
of him ; in the train boy, who passed
through on his many errands, with prize
candies, gum drops, pop corn, papers
and magazines, and distributed books
and the police journals with a blind im
partiality or a prodigious iguorauce or a
supernatural perception of character in
those who received them.’’
EARTH CLOSETS.
epori 01 me Board of Health On the £ub
Ject of Deodorizing Nlffht soil.
The following is the report of the
committee appointed by the Board of
Health to inquire into the subject of the
earth-closet system :
REPORT.
Your committee “ on the investiga
tion of the earth system of deodorizing
night-soil” have the honor to report that
they have studied many authorities on
deodorizers, and have examined the cer
tificates and the scientific essays on the
subject of the earth-deodorizing proper
ties and earth closets, and have come to
the conclusion that the earth system is
by far the most superior and the cheap
est.
This system is not anew one at all,
and it seems strange that with such
principles—superiority and cheapness—
it has not always been the method adopt
ed by every people of every nation on
the globe. The law of Moses even im
posed upon the Israelites the duty of
covering the blood of slaughter-houses
with earth. And in China, that strange
country, where civilization seems to
have attained the highest degree in
certain times and the lowest in others,
they have used earth for disinfecting
night-soil from time immemorial.
Rosser, in 1831, offered earth united
with unslacked lime, soot, powdered
gypsum, &e., as a disinfectant for foecal
substances, urine, garbage, &c. In
1858 Rev. W. I). Dowditcb, of Wake
field, England, recommended to the ag
ricultural society the use of dry powder
ed clay to remove the impurities of coal
gas, house-vessels, privy-boxes, &c. Al
most at the same time Rev. H. Moule,
in Dorsetshire, had practically tested the
deodorizing power of earth on privy
soil, and from his exposition of the fact,
the earth-closet system became gene
rally adopted in England and in many
parts of the country.
The Medical Press, of February 15,
1871, says: ‘‘Experience has shown
that the quality and condition of the
earth employed in the closets have much
to do with the success of the process, for
pure or nearly pure sand has deodoriz
ing power ; and the same is the case
with chalk and other forms of carbonate
of lime. Peat also, although rather
more effective than sand or chalk, is not
a good deodorizer ; whereas clay, or
earth which is rich in clay, is well
suited for the purpose. The degree of
dryness is also a matter of considerable
importance, as it seriously affects the
absorbing power of the material ; hence
the necessity for selecting a heavy soil,
like brick-earth, which is loaded with
clay, and then drying it by artificial
means, in order that it may be powder
ed and sifted, for the purpose of utiliz
ing its absorbent action to itslullest ex
tent.”
ft is calculated that it required
pounds per head per day to make of the
excrement a solid, inoffensive compost.
The advantage of this system is ac
knowledged in England to be as follows:
1. The earth-closet, intelligently man
aged, furnishes a means of disposition of
excrement without nuisance and with
out detriment to health.
2. In communities, the earth-closet
system requires to be managed by the
authority of the place, and will pay at
least the expense of its management.
3. In the poorer classes of houses,
where supervision of any closet arrange
ment is indispensable, the adoption of the
earth system is invaluable.
4. It is cheaper and more salubrious
than the water-closet.
5. It supersedes the water-closet, thus
saving much water for the use of the
city,
6. It saves the excrement, which is so
important in agriculture, instead of
wasting it, and used to choke the sewers
and fill the atmosphere with malaria.
In our investigations, we found that
the prepared earth can be supplied to
every household for every privy, with
out the charge of one cent. A box of
this earth will be regularly supplied, and
the filth taken away, charging only the
usual rates which have been allowed by
law without deodorization.
This system will free our community
of a nuisance dangerous to health—of a
nuisance which has aroused the indigna
tion of the people until they actually
rioted against it. We therefore earnest
ly urge its adoption. — Washington Pa
